Nocturnal Media is proud to announce the Kickstarter launch of Moods of the Mad King. Published under the Gallant Knight Games imprint and the first in a line of micro-games, Moods of the Mad King is designed by Alan Bahr, with gorgeous full color art by Dani Powers, and graphic design by Robert Denton! Moods of the Mad King is a game in the vein of Love Letter, Coup and other small "micro-games"!

Moods of the Mad King is for 2 to 4 players and has an average playtime of 15 minutes! The game plays quickly, is easy to teach, and comes in a very affordable $15 package! Players assume the role of a Playwright in the court of the Mad King, trying to create plays that will please the King before he has them all executed. Lie, steal, write, and cheat to create the best play and keep your head!

The game includes:

16 Play Cards

4 Mood Cards

12 Act Cards (in 4 Genres)

1 Rulebook

1 Tuckbox

The Kickstarter features stretch goals such as promo cards, an expansion to add a 5th player, and optional playmats as an add-on!

The Nature of the Sinister Spacebusiness & blog

All the latest news from Nocturnal Media scrolls down the screen at the left, but in addition to announcements and updates, this section contains blog-like material by Stewart Wieck, owner of Nocturnal Media. These more personal pieces could have a section of their own, but it seemed better to consider them in the context of the concurrent news. In this way, the business information and the blog entries together form a sort of digital history of Nocturnal Media and game-designer & author Stewart Wieck.
